  1. It is not really just a measure of intelligence and education (those help) but how our brains work and how we identify our values. Some of us have an internal moral/ethical foundation that is very strong, some of us need an outsider to tell us these. Some have clearly defined values while others need someone to tell it to them. Some people want to live in their fictionalized authoritarian utopia, because they are lazy and happy, and can easily ignore what isn't happening to them, or dismiss what happens to others as simple hysterics. Christians and Republicans often lack these internal values/ethics. I did ask my father "What could Trump do that would make you not vote for him? " and his answer was "nothing." That clearly pointed to a lack of values/ethics and how this has moved into what @TahoeHorn accused others of, identity politics/cult of personalities. That is all this is to them. A game, a reality TV show, and a fictionalized struggle against the forces of evil: Jesus, freedom, choice, education, science, and at the root of it, responsibility.
  2. I was willing and hoping to believe that was a small segment of the police. Then I met them.
  3. Biden made a mistake and those around him made a mistake of not coaching him through the process better. But the American people made a much bigger mistake electing a felonious conman and russian asset to accelerate the oligarchic takeover.
  4. I would take Richard Nixon (or his corpse) over Trump.
  5. So we are not all billionaires here?
  6. I think I would like @Brisketexan in real life, but I don’t want him moist.
  7. Make a commitment to vote in primaries or continue to let the crazies only select the candidates. Also check this out, if you want a feel good story.
  8. delete
  9. I do love the added class of ice cream scooped mashed potatoes.
  10. How were the dicks, asking for a poster.
  11. They are not conservatives.
  12. Is that a definition issue or a real correlation?
  13. But what if there was 1 gorilla on the plane?
  14. Similar experience my fellow Floridian educated brother. I didn't learn about it until I was a man.
  15. Also helps with dyslexia from what I understand. My kiddos who all have dyslexia to varying degrees did fine with cursive and learned it rather quickly when I taught it to them over a week one summer. As a person with dysgraphia, my shitty handwriting transcends all formats and language, even non written forms.
  16. Don't forget to like.
  17. My ancestors obviously didn't die from the Bubonic Plague, so it must not have been that bad.
  18. That wasn’t a decent back and forth. I think BOW and us had a decent discussion in the QE thread after a bit, and I appreciated the information he shared. Seems like our dear leader suspended him for harassment more so than disagreement. Feel free to disagree with me.
  19. No they don’t. They want whatever they are told they want. There is nothing the MAGATs won’t flip flop on.
